A Howard blind item

Saw this blind item on another site.

  1. THE GOSSIP LIFE 10/26 Isn’t this ironic? Apparently this former A list radio personality, who built a career out of shock, has a list of terminology and topics banned from the air and won’t let staffers or callers even touch them. ‘[name omitted]’s producer sent an email out with the list and occasionally updates it when [name omitted] wants to add something,’ whispers a source. ‘People are scared to be fired if they ever challenge him.’ Howard Stern

Yeah see what they did with Matthew Berry after he dropped that Marci remark. Poof - vamoose, son of a bitch!

They even kicked him out of the fantasy football league because of it.

gordothepinBye for now. •

Can someone with Twitter dm or tweet at him and ask about this?

They tried to kick Berry out of the league for three years. Lisa Ann was also thrown out of FFL. I doubt she's heard of Marci Turk.

Matthew? He's around.

Oh yeah, I didn't even notice he disappeared from show talk. I don't even think they said his name when they were last talking about the fantasy league?

How is it ironic?

Rob0729OP•

Howard fought against people censoring him for the longest time and now he censors his staff.

except it's literally his job to decide what gets on air

Exactly, it's hypocritical.

Howard's always been this way, it is just the show is/was so seamless you never knew it. It has only gotten better over time too with the bigger budget, larger staff and better technology.

Makerbot2000Can I speak with Mr. Shuli?•

What’s wrong with that? You want him discussing Dominic and Cabbie and Chauncey? I like that his power is to never mention them on air again. It’s simple, it’s non threatening, and it cuts them off from plugs and being a household name (with his demographic anyway).

1†
Rob0729OP•

C'mon, you know it isn't about Dominic or Cabbie or Chauncey. Matthew Berry exposed some of the things that are off topic like Marci, his kids, Alison, and other things. It has nothing to do with long passed people related to the show.

jlixx•

I definitely think Dominic, Cabbie, and Chauncey are on that list.

Marci, his kids, Alison, and other things

I fail to see what's wrong with them being on the list.

6
Rob0729OP•

Yeah, it is all about Howard's favorite saying "Honesty in radio".

"I mess with people's kids, bosses & ex-wives, no one else!"

magrubr•

Exactly. Why would anyone care if he gave a Cabbie update, if this is a real memo it's definitely about the big unspoken names like you mentioned. Plus Artie of course.

Exactly. It’s his show. He can do what he wants. If staff doesn’t like it, quit. If fans don’t like it, stop listening.

But nah....WAY easier and safer to bitch about it from the safety of a phone or keyboard.

The power of silence is way more cutting than ranting about someone. It’s like they vaporized.

HeBeCrouchingDownI see a Redditor and he be lookin' scared.•

Yeah it took him some time to realize roasting someone made them more important than they actually are.

So let's see this list.

aphilsphan•

I doubt very much a list exists in email form or any other printed form. Such a list could easily be stolen by an intern and blindly given to the press. The list of suspects would be in the hundreds. Howard has plausible deniability.

LessMoonbeamsNegro woman of the south•

E-mail veracity can be easily checked for authenticity

1
aphilsphan•

Sure, but Howard would never know the culprit. I believe there is a “list” of forbidden topics and names, but I believe it is short enough that it doesn’t need to be written down. In fact, Howard wouldn’t write it down because that would be a potential embarrassment.

LessMoonbeamsNegro woman of the south•

A "list" of some sorts is within the Stern zeitgeist illative knowledge to the cognoscenti ..........3rd rail stuff / it was among the Italians real greaseball shit .....he's gone and there's nothing we can do about it

Excuse my naïveté but who is Marci Turk?

1
Rob0729OP•

She is the COO of the Stern show. She was hired after Tim was let go. She is considered by many a huge reason for a lot of the negative changes to the Stern Show over the last five or six years.
